The swivel tray is Ella's patented removable 360 degree tray, also called the rotating bath tray or bath caddy, that gives you a dry spot for a drink, a book or bath items while you soak. It measures 8.5 by 8.5 inches with a 2 inch pin on one corner, mounts in a threaded fitting near the door on the stainless inward-swing deck, and rotates out of the way for entry and exit.

How It Works

Slide the pin into the threaded fitting near the door and screw the cap on to secure it. In use the tray pivots a full circle, so you swing it over the water once you are settled and swing it clear of the door when you get in or out. To remove it, unscrew the cap and lift; a cap covers the fitting when the tray is off, so the deck stays smooth. Because the tray sits close to the door, it can interfere with a glass shower screen, so plan the screen position before either is installed; see installing glass shower screens.

Which Ella Models Have It

The tray is standard on the stainless inward-swing door family and on the two stainless-door two-seat tubs: the Elite (Model profile), Royal (Model profile), Deluxe (Model profile), Ultimate (Model profile), Companion (Model profile) and Escape (Model profile). It is not listed for the Petite, and it is not compatible with the Ultra or the Transfer30, because the tray is designed for the stainless inward-swing deck. The stainless-door family video tour shows the deck the tray mounts to.

What to Know as an Owner

Care is simple: wipe the tray with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner, keep the cap on the fitting whenever the tray is off, and lift the tray out rather than forcing it past the door. The tray can be added after the tub is installed, since it only needs the fitting on the deck. Replacement trays and the tray plug are arranged with your model and serial number through your Ella dealer or the team at (800) 480-6850, and a photo of the fitting near the door helps confirm the right part. The full accessory list, including risers and cushions, is in swivel tray, seat pillow riser and seat cushions, and screen and rain head questions are gathered in showering add-ons and accessories.
